Saw the Oakey/Moby tour here in KC last June. One word:

BLAAAAA!

Sorry, I've got a lot of respect for Oakey and the things he's brought to the table in the past (as well as Moby). But the show was a let down, as was Oakey's show here last Feb. Don't know if he was cracked out or what, but he trainwrecked BADLY 3 or 4 times in his 90 min. set back in Feb., which was unusual considering this guy was supposedly voted the #1 most wanted DJ.

But like the previous guy said, you don't go to hear his mixing skills. He has incredible production and remixes, and you mostly go to hear those as well as his new white labels that he brings to his decks. I've recently downloaded a Galaxy State Side Live set from him, and that wasn't too shabby. Sounded a lot like his old '99 form again, as well as his In the Mix from March.

There aren't any recent live sets because he's going pop! I admit he was once good when he was in the trance world... but listen to bunkka and u'll see what i mean by going pop. Sell out... cares more bout his name than his trance fans. I think he's jus tryin to get his name to the USA more with the pop scene but personally i think he needs to stick to the trance scene.

I have tons of his dance department sets from tis year

i think all of you are partially retarded. go to the hub type oak 2002 and get all kinds of results. and his sets sound nothing like bunkka for those of you that didn't like it. sure he plays some remixes of the bunkka songs but they are totally fitting to the set, sound nothing like the originals.

Oakenfold radio shows are broadcast every week

State Side Live (Saturday)
Party 93.1 (Sunday)

Also Dance Department on Radio 538 does Oakenfold broadcasts. If any of you paid attention you might actually find this stuff. Also whoever said he isn't in the same league as Tiesto? LMFAO, you think Tiesto can mix??

Anyone who has heard a recent radio show or set will see that he is still in prime form, and his track selection is second to none. Just because you aren't into his new progressive style doesn't mean you have to criticize.

Floorfiller, we'll defend Oakey to the end
